After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities

Chapter 820

"They were already sentenced to death anyway," Clare said dryly, acknowledging that he was not

invincible.

But now he carried the honor and disgrace of the entire Hipps family on his shoulders. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Thinking about everything he was about to face, thinking about his elderly parents, he kept telling

himself in his heart that he was the backbone of the Hipps family. He had to be tough and protect all of

them.

He looked Ronnie straight in the eye with a determined gaze. "I must become a diamond-level prisoner.

I will take down the boss and... get out."

The cool ointment applied to his wounds gave him some temporary relief from their burning pain. He

wasn't trying to be tough; rather, it felt as if he were lying quietly on the bed like an animal struggling for

survival.

Ronnie watched stubborn Clare with a sigh deep in his heart. The old Mr. Clare used to only love

playing piano; like an elegant artist, Mr. Hipps and Mrs. Hipps held up all matters concerning Hipps

family affairs.

However, since Tammy and Skyla returned home recently, everything within the Hipps family became

chaotic - even more so than before - almost as if they were going through Armageddon soon.

Ronnie's heart couldn't help but ache painfully at this thought: it would be destroyed soon because of

these two women who brought nothing but trouble!

He harbored immense resentment towards them deep inside him: If given a chance to escape prison

too someday, then he would personally finish those mother-daughter!

Inside a hotel room...

Hipps family affairs involved many people especially since they originally belonged among Aettosa's

first noble families whose glory spanned nearly 100 years!

Hipps family has always been known for its military achievements; they safeguarded Aettosa's peace

for decades! In Aettosa residents' minds, the Hipps family represented honor itself!

Not long ago, thirty years ago, Mr. Hipss led his family's air force against terrorists who had been

harassing border areas for years. They finally wiped them out, bringing peace back into the border

regions once again. At that time, it made international news headlines, and people praised Hipss'

family endlessly, knowing full well that the family is indeed Aettosa's guardian angel.

Hipss family has always managed the Air Force Campaign Department, which is envied by many

people everywhere and considered one of the most important positions there is anywhere!

It wasn't until Clare's generation came along that things changed drastically. Instead of following

tradition and continuing the military legacy, Clare preferred playing piano and music, which made

countless enemies laugh behind their backs. They never imagined what happened last year when

Clare suddenly entered the Campaign Department without warning anyone beforehand!

And Clare quickly rose through the ranks, achieving numerous military victories. This was like a crazy

slap in their faces.

They wished that the Hipps family would immediately fall from grace and become a lazy aristocracy

living off their wealth, rather than being the backbone of an empire with immense power and influence.

Many of the online supporters who usually praised and liked the Hipps family continued to create posts

supporting them on social media. Some even set up websites pleading with the president to investigate

thoroughly and clear Hipps family's name. After all, this family was not just any ordinary aristocracy;

they were heroes! They had made great contributions to their country and people!

However, as more people petitioned for them, the angrier it made the president feel. He felt that his

authority was being challenged strongly. Wasn't he like those ancient emperors whose decisions were

questioned by his subjects? Did he still have any imperial dignity left?

Therefore, after seeing what happened to Hipps family, Sylvia did not immediately take action with

Franklin. Instead, she secretly went to see Mrs. Hipps and Mr. Hipps at their apartment.

The two elderly people were already in their late years; they looked thin and frail compared to when

Sylvia last saw them at a grand banquet hosted by Hipps family before its downfall.

Looking at these two old people's haggard faces made Sylvia's heart ache inexplicably.

"We are now like dogs without homes," sighed Mrs. Hipps upon seeing Sylvia arrive, "I never expected

Mr. Maskelyne or Miss Andrews would come visit us."

She then ordered her butler to serve tea for everyone present.

Sylvia sat down on a sofa beside Franklin while looking around this small apartment measuring only

one hundred square meters - so different from what she remembered about how grandiose and

spacious Hipps mansion used to be - feeling somewhat desolate inside her heart.

Mr. Hipps also let out a sigh. "Nowadays many avoid us as if we're locusts swarming over crops; it is

rare that you both came here today."

"To be honest," said Sylvia without beating around the bush, "Clare and I are friends; my friend Mollie

found me seeking my help in saving him."

"What did you say?" The old Mrs. Hippss suddenly looked shocked upon hearing this news from Sylvia.

"Are you serious? Do you know what kind of situation our family is currently facing?"

"Miss Andrews, please don't joke like that," Mr. Hipps regained his composure and quickly said, "What

could our Hipps family do to deserve your help?"

He knew that Franklin and Sylvia had some skills, but... to save the Hipps family? How was that

possible?

"I don't know why, but every time I see someone from the Hipps family, I feel a strange sense of

closeness. Maybe... that's what people call fate," Sylvia smiled. She was beautiful with clear eyes. Her

smile made people feel as if they were bathed in spring breeze.

"And I also know that the Hipps family has been wronged. I can't bear to see good people suffer

unjustly."

Mr. Hipps closed his eyes lightly and choked up for a moment before saying, "Thank you very much

Miss Andrews and Mr. Maskelyne for your offer to help us out of this mess."

The crime committed by the Hipps family couldn't be explained in just a few words or easily resolved.

Before he could finish speaking, Franklin interrupted him. "Mr. Hipps doesn't have to reject us so

quickly; can we take a look at that contract?"

"The contract has already been taken away by the police as evidence; we don't have it here," Mr. Hipps

shook his head.

Sylvia looked at Mr. Hipps' expression without saying much more before her gaze fell on old Mrs.

Hipss. "Please don't be too upset; the truth will come out one day."

Mrs. Hipss' face turned pale, "The evidence is conclusive; how easy do you think it would be to

overturn this case? It's getting late now, so please leave."

She didn't want to endure any more hope followed by despair feelings again.

Clare was still young yet he might end up being executed soon enough...

Thinking about this matter made her heart ache like being cut with knives.

Hipss family had blocked too many people's paths over these years - blame them for being too clean-

cut which caused those who wanted them destroyed couldn't wait any longer..

Sylvia and Franklin didn't stay long either; they chose to say goodbye immediately after seeing how

bad things looked for them.

On the way back, the two of them felt very heavy-hearted. Nobody had expected that the loyal Hipps

family, who served their country faithfully, would end up like this.

A private plane was flying in the sky.

A woman dressed in casual clothes was sitting at a dining table with a five-year-old girl in her arms.

The little girl is Bethany. However, she has now changed her family name to Foster. Bethany looks

somewhat similar to Isabelle, but also has some resemblance to Darius.

When she was with the Bentley family before, she suffered from malnutrition. However, since coming to

the Athena Society and receiving care for some time, she has become even more adorable with a rosy

complexion and chubby cheeks.

Especially after knowing that Darius was her biological father, she was very happy.

Darius had just finished talking to his assistant and came to sit down at the table, when she quickly

climbed onto her father's lap, "Daddy, I want to eat this, I want to eat this." "

She pointed to the food on the dining table, looking cute and waiting for Darius to feed her.

The man was instantly melted by her adorable appearance.

At first, she was very guarded against him, but after spending some time together, the little guy became

absolutely adorable.

Darius loved her, spoiled her, and influenced her.

Isabelle watched the father and daughter bonding and felt both happy that Darius truly loved Bethany,

but also worried about what would happen to the child if there were any conflicts between her and

Darius in the future.

What she was most worried about was Darius fighting her for custody.

But this man proposed to her a while ago.

She was a little confused.

More often than not, she felt at a loss. Especially now that she had to go back with him to the Foster

family. Was the Foster family a large clan or an aristocratic family? Would she and Bethany be

accepted by the Foster family?

Darius served Bethany food while casting a deep gaze at Isabelle. "What are you daydreaming about?

If you keep it up, Bethany will finish all the food."

Isabelle regained her composure and said, "Oh, it's nothing. I was just looking at the scenery outside."

Her flustered appearance caused Darius to silently raise an eyebrow.

He freed one hand and held her icy hand, "I can handle everything; don't worry."

How did he know she was nervous? She never expected Darius to be so attentive and caring.

She opened her mouth to say something, but ultimately remained silent, lowering her head to continue

eating.

After Bethany finished eating, she curled up in Darius' arms and fell asleep. Her long eyelashes

covered her eyes while her small mouth unconsciously puckered a few times.

Watching this scene, Darius felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction like that of a proud father.

After about an hour had passed, the plane finally landed on the airline's private lawn. Meanwhile, the

Foster family had already turned upside down.

The old Mrs. Foster's face was grim as she said, "Is the child really his? How dare he bring it back with

him?"
